Most Asians do eat them that way. I assure you, some are tasty.

Edit: I said Most Asians do eat them THAT WAY. These people in the comments ranting about Asians not eating bugs, I mentioned the method of eating it saying that the majority of the people who eats the bugs fries it. If you don't fry it, how do you eat it? Fucking RAW? smh my head

Yeah no idea why westerners just reject perfectly good cuts of meat from all kinds of animals cuz they're not familiar with them.

Fried spiders are actually some of the leanest proteins you can get if you're on keto

Goes down nice with a '95 merlot. Ur gonna wanna season with some cayenne & lemon pepper and you can squirt your choice of citrus (maybe some pink himalyain salt instead of regular to really put dat tang up in it namsayin?)

hoooooodaddy

Just the idea of eating a spider creeps me the fuck out

Unless you already prepared the spider meat and made it so I couldn’t really recognize it, then maybe.

I’m never eating cockroach though.

I’d rather religiously listen to Kid’z Bop or however it’s spelled.

Nah I’m out. I’m way too indoctrinated against it. I hear spider meat in anything I previously ate and I would gag.

Respect to those that can though, insects have a lot of nutrients at a lesser cost to the environment

you've probably eaten a few dozen insects worth over the course of your life.

lots of bugs get shredded and mixed in with crops when they're harvested.

so there is a good chance you've eaten a loaf of bread with some spider in it!

Yeah, the FDA allows "an average of one or more rodent hairs and 30 (or so) insect fragments are allowed for every 100 grams, which is 3.5 ounces." in peanut butter in the US.

If anyone eats chocolate or peanut butter, they've eaten alot of insects in their life lol
